AWS Sydney outage downs big-name web companies

Foxtel, Domain, Domino's suffer extended downtime.

Large Australian websites including Domain, Channel Nine, Foxtel Play and Domino's went down on Sunday afternoon after Amazon Web Service's Sydney zone suffered a two-hour power outage.

AWS first warned of the outage affecting Elastic Compute via its status page at 3:47pm, and an hour later confirmed the issue was related to a power problem. Sydney spent Sunday struggling through severe storms.

"We can confirm that instances have experienced a power event within a single availability zone in the AP-SOUTHEAST-2 region," it said.

"Error rates for the EC2 APIs have improved and launches of new EC2 instances are succeeding within the other availability zones in the region."

Our external vendor AWS confirmed Stan connection issues due to power outage within AWS. AWS & Stan are working to restore services ASAP.
